UNP
Fencing Club
Presents
Boo’s Blades
Full
plate and packing steel!
From medieval times to modern day Olympics, fencing
has made it’s mark on the world and is now available on campus!
Fencing is one of four original sports to feature in
all modern Olympic Games and will probably be around for a while longer. Made
great by movies such as ‘The Mask of Zorro’ and ‘The Princess Bride’, our
members get to live out their ‘Star Wars’ fantasies and learn how to rescue
damsels in distress.
Why Boo’s Blades you ask? Well, a good number of our
members are computer game fanatics, and have a love for the Baldur’s Gate
series by Black Isle. The feature that stands out most from this RPG is the
character Minsc and his Miniature Giant Space Hamster – Boo. Often at
tournaments you can hear us spouting dialogue lines made famous by Minsc in the
game.
If your sense of adventure has been aroused, you can
find out more about the history and workings of fencing here.
To see how our members have performed in previous
Tournaments and Provincial Opens, be sure to visit our results
page.
Be sure to read the NEWS section
for all the latest happenings in Boo’s Blades.
Find us in the Movement Room of the Hexagon Theatre
Complex every Wednesday and Thursday from 19h00 to 21h00.
Learn more about fencing. Photo's from past tournaments.
